I am aware of clipboard managers like copyq's existence, but using them requires clicking around and takes time. I woudl like something purely keyboard based, for using inside terminals.
What I have in mind is replicating shell functionality for pasting things from the clipboard.
For example, searching the history of shell commands with Ctrlr, I would like to use a shortcut to search inside the clipboard history for a pattern matching my input and paste it with a single keystroke when it is found.
Or something like using Up for showing commands executed before. So, depending how many times the paste shortcut would be pressed, the n-th position from the clipboard would be pasted.
Is there any tool that allows me to do things like these?
tmux
can do things like this. See http://grota.github.io/blog/2012/05/08/tmux-clipboard-integration/ – billyjmc Mar 14 '15 at 03:36
